The City of Love

It should not be a surprise that Paris has a Musée de l'Erotisme ("Museum of the Erotic"). If this genre of art appeals to you, you will find this museum fascinating. The collection is extensive, multicultural, and spans all ages of humanity.

Open daily, from 10 AM till 2 AM. There are four floors of exhibits, plus a museum shop.

32 rue Blondel, 75002 Paris.

Hidden away in one of the most infamous streets of Paris, well known for its "working girls" is this building, covered in tiles, that was one of the famous "maisons closes" - brothels closed, down just 65 years ago. Formerly known as "Aux Belles Poules" the building has been classed as a "monument historique" !!!!! What next...... The street is named after architect Francois Blondel who designed the Porte St. Denis, built in 1672, just round the corner.

Strasbourg-St. Denis is the closest metro.

Old Jewelry-Fun place

If you like old jewelry and such there is a store at 362 Rue St. Honore called Dary's that has been there since the 1930's and has wonderful things. I got a pair of cuff-links made from ancient Greek coins earlier this September. The staff is extremely nice and helpful and the stock is great for browsing.

Have a good time!

Pigalle deserves a visit

Musee de I’Erotisme

Sharing the neighborhood with the infamous Moulin Rouge in the Red Light District, the Musuem of Eroticism is seven floors of erotic objects and art gathered from around the world. Collections are both tasteful and tacky, provoking and entertaining. From the phallic to the vulva, the adults are sure to get a kick out of this joint. The museum is open 7 days a week from 10am to 2am and charges a fee of 8 euros.

Musée de l'Erotisme -...

Musée de l'Erotisme - obvisouly located near Place Pigalle, and obviously over 18 only. This rule is not strict however: I managed to have some youngers students go in, with the result that they came out shocked and might decide never to have a sex-life again. Moralist parents will surely thank me.

Having first come to Paris in October 1970, I moved from London in March 1971. Stayed just 18 months, during which time I married, and went back to London. We then decided to come back in May 1975 and...
